"Welcome is the bent cheer," says the Old English proverb. Onesitsdown to a stately dinner sometimes as if he were Bigninga mortgage, or a receipt for social obligations which the hoBt and hostess are "paying off." The menu is unexcep tionable; the company is of the most re spertable; the conversation is irreproacb able; the whole thing is damnable. Again : Topers lakes you home to a leg of million; the Togerwa are all bright chatty, cheery; the dinner is dispatched with merry, hospitable welcome from all the household; and the good old English phrase "good cheer" is the only one in any language adequate to express your sentiments, An American writer says: "The sweetest superstition of this world is Old Santa Claus." But, is it a superstition? We confess to an absolute faith and belief in the jolly little saint who goes about filling all hearts with good will and peace in the merry Christmas time. We would not for worlds doubt that the tinkle of those bells and the clatter of the hoofs ring out in the crispy air of every night on the Eve of Christmas, or that Saint Nicholas reigns for that night over the hearts of trusting children, and of loving parents whom he makes his messengers. If he does not actually drive over our roofs with eight mortal tiny reindeer, he comes into our homes in the diviner essence of spirit, warming our hearls and melt' ing us to the sweet influences of the Christmas feeling. He is the personal embodiment to our Benses of the senti ment which, thank God I gets the upper hand for that short week at least, and makes selfishness slink away with the owls and bats. He is the impersonation of good cheer, good will, hospitality. merry hearts, and loving offices to every thing that hath breath. ...."What is the use of Christmas, anyhow ?" snarled Old Gradgrind, yester day, as he stood discontentedly watching the eager throng of fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, and all degrees of - kinship, hurrying along with their faces full of peace and their arms full of good will. "What's the use of Christmas, any how? Look at this pack of fools going by with all sorts of gimcracks and ex travagancea which they are not able to afford, but which they buy for the chil dren, just because it is Christmas ! Good Lord I Must parents act like spend thrifts, because it is ChristmaB? Must they ruin their children's digestion with weetments and bon bons because it iB Christmas ? Must everybody run wild and idiotic because it is Christmas?" Why,God bless your miserable, stingy old soul Gradgrind those people are having and giving more happiness in this one hour than you have enjoyed in sixty years of painful industry with your muck rake. What is the use of Christmas? What is the use of a nose, to smell pleasant odors with I What in the use of ears, to hear music with I What is the use of any. thiug, that contributes to human happl new! There isn't ha! enough Christmas, in American life. We don't use our Christmas noses and ears half enough in ravishing the soul with the sweet Bmelling flowers and the e& static harmonies which fill all earth and air, and make heaven on earth to the heart and mind attuned with them. We go on raking with our muck rakes in the slums and cesspools of life, accumulating piles of filthy lucre, and seldom getting out into the fragrant air where the birds are singing. If we do at all, it is because Christmas, with its good will and good cheer, crystal izen the air, and lets in Heaven's sunshine upon our Bills. Thank God for Christmas, and for its happy influences. God bless us, lery one I .."Meuby Curistmas to all, and to 'all good" morning I The illustrated aupulenitot bka will be found folded in neb copy of OwStati JocaJflL this morning, u Christinas frut, Ki to speak, bountifully spread with lb choicest thing in literatim appropri ate to thit beat of all holidays.

Thi Cleveland Leader is w icked enough to say that Washington managers, in catering for tha new members, need not exert themselves to give a high tone to theatrical entertainments. If we msy belie the reports of the nanghty men who frequented such places, the Canterbury lways drew better than Shakspeare. In fsct, the average Congressman was never known to get farther than the rst syllable, In his March for the legitimate. There will be many a hippy child this morning, and many a one that parental waste or want, or perhaps orphanage, will deprive of a Christmas present. Csn there be i pleaaanter duty than to hunt up such and make them also happy f Tac wife of a Congressman blandly told a visitor, a few days since, that she didn't mind having a room on the fourth story of her hotel at Washington, as she went up and down in the ventilator.

If suitable gravel can be obtained in this vicinity, the gravel traiiiB will also be started from thin city. lhe grading ot the road has been push ed with ex raordinary enemy. Had the weather of the month of December been equally favorable with that of Novem ber, Hie grading and masonry ol the roadway would have been finished by this time. An it is, lour hundred and titty thousand yards of embankment antl one hundred and sixty thousand yards of ex cavation have been made, and about all the masonry upon the line completed. And thin has all been accomplished since the 1st of August last. The company have subVred materially in nettling right of way, and the greatest dittieulty in thin matter has heenencouiit ered in the counties of Franklin and Del aware Many farmers and other landown era have apparently regarded the build ing ot the road an money making incident for themselves. This it certainly in, hut not tn the way they have attempted to make it, vis: by charging enormous pri ces for. the right of way through their properties, biucc the una! survey and the commencement of comtruction of the road, the company have paid over $100.- 000 in cash for the right of way alone; and this is a tax upon their resources which the managers are feeling severely. It is supposed liy the management that regular trains will be running between Delaware and Columbus by the first o'r middle of May next. A Ceuteuulal Catholic Bleniorlul Foniitttlii. Baltimore American, Dec. 20. The contract for supplying marble for the Catholic Memorial Fountain at the Centeuuial grounds in Philadelphia has been awarded to a firm of this city, and it in to cost $75,000. The Btructnre will be composed principally of marble from the Beaver Dain quarrieB in Baltimore county, and in design will be very handsome.

New York Hportsnian. 1 Carefully caged in the dimly-lighted lower regions of the Central Park Museum are two young Hon cubs. They are three weeks old, a pair, lion and lioness, nne healthy little creatures, and in two weeks more will be old enough to be nhown to the public. They are the progeny of the pair of beasts known an Lincoln and Jennie in the Museum. But the mother, being unable from confinement or some other cause to nurse them, they were at once given to a large terrier whoFe puppies were taken away, and who playB the part of a foster-mother. She stems, indeed, as fond of the cubs as if they were her own offspring, and coverB them with caressess, though they are already half as big an she in. It is a curious fact that lions reared in captivity are not as gentle as those captured and tamed. The parents of these cubs, which were cauglit when wild, and tamed, are very tractable, while some of the other lions which were born and brought up here are sullen and ferocious. All Old Couple. An Illinois paper says : "Dr. Wilkins, of Kairmount, recently visited a man and woman in Montgomery county, Indiana, whose ages are respectively 113 and 111 yearn, and who have lived together in the married state eighty five years. The name of thin ancient couple is Fruits, and they are the parents of Mrs. Thomas Williams, of Callin township. The old man stands up as straight as a ramrod, and dees quite a good deal of work every day. He has always been a moderate liver, and uses no tobacco, which ia an argument against tobacco users. But his wife has been a steady smoker for sixty years, which in an argument in favor of tobacco. The old lady is afflicted with a cancer, which mado its appearance upon her fore-bead forty years ago, and which she is now doctoring with coal oil. At one time in her life she weighed 225 pounds, but gradually shrunk away till now ahe tips the beam at 125."

After om telling preliminary remark, the Professor said he had divided this subject up under several bead, and bad aaked tome of the member of th Association lo present their idea, on these. Miss Mary G. Nease. of Weatervllle. read a very entertaining paper oa "Th. proper age for introducing the study of Geography." Misa Bowman, of Winchester, gave her ideas of "The beat method of bringing the subject of Geography before beginners.""How to use the Globe." was th tonic on which Mr. Compton, of Dublin, presented some very good suggestions. Miss Wickham. of Westerville. answer ed very handsomely the question, "Would you introduce scraps of history with tbe recitation of Geography?" Mr. Marion, of Marion township, gave his idess on the subject, "Is tbe newspaper of value in connection with the study of Geography?" His answer was, "In some instances, yes; in others, no." Miss Price, of Columbus, delivered a very nice address on "Should we have two grades of books on Geoeraphr. or one, in our Schools." She was decidedly in ravor oi oui oue. Professor McFarland beins? called unon. made a lew able remarks on the subject of Geography. Being requested to make a few remarks on Grammar, he delivered a spicy criticism on the use of the King's English. He said: "Not one of all the speakers 1 have heard during Ibis session of the Institute has fsiled to murder the King's English." He said that this question of using language was habit. All being creatures of habit, all were liable to these mistakes, and it would alwavs be so. He said it was an utter impossibility fur a speaker to confine himself to a strict grammatical creation in making extemporaneous speeches. He said there was no use in caring anything about this, that everybody was liable to the same faults. He advised the members to enter upon their subject in making addresses, think of the subject, and let the grammar go. Messrs. Shauch and Johnson, followed wilh exercises in arithmetic, to the edification of tbe Association. Mr. Hoover next delivered an able address on Physical Geography. The Institute receiving a greeting, by telegraph, from the Columbiana County Teacher's Institute, sent the following in renpense thereto: "Franklin County Teachers returns greeting to Columbian County Teacher's Institute. The work move grandly on." Miscellaneous business was taken uu. and a motion made that the Institute hold its next session one year from this week. There being some difference of opinion on this subject, it was resolved to lay this question over for settlement to the afternoon session. Adjourned until 1:30 p. m. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Institute assembled promptly at half-past one o'clock. After singing by the members present, the roll waa called, and those answering to their names signified to the Secretary how many days they had been nresent. The motion made before the closing of me ujormug sesriuu in regaru tome lime ot holding the next Institute, was called up. Professors McFarland, Smart. Snr- derand others made remarks giving their views on the subject. Mr. Smart said he considered the more Institutes held, the better. In speaking of the present Insti tute, he alluded in a very flattering man ner to the earnestness of the teachers at this time; that he thought this, uerbans. the largest Institute that had ever been held in the State. He said the teachers should receive high commendation for their earnestness. After considerable discussion the following resolution was adopted : Reiotvtd, That we do request the Executive committee not to hold an Institute before one year from this week, and then to hold it in the Board of Trade room in Columbus if possible. Tbe following resolutions were then read by Mr. Bartels on behalf of the committee on Resolutions appointed on Wednesday, and by a unanimous vote adopted : We, your committee on Resolutions, would respectfully submit the following; Whereas, This Institute has been more largely attended by the teachers of the county than any previous one; and whereas, the instruction has been of such a nature that it may be profitably used in the Bchool room; therefore, ifcsoved, That we are much better prepared for our responsible work than heretofore, and that we will endeavor to appropriate all of the valuable instruction received here to render our work more effective in the future than it has been in the pant. Resolved, That we extend a vote of thanks to Revs. Watson, Hill, Moore and Manley, for conducting the devotional exercises of the Institute; to President Orion, Dr. Merrick, State School Commissioner Smart, Prof. Ogden, Prof. Haywood, Supt. Stevenson, Dr. Kinsman, Prof. Bryan and Rev. Mr. Wallace for their valuable Bervicea as lecturers and instructors.To the members of the Board of Trade for the use of their room; to Mr. Charles Stuart, Cashier of the Clearing House, for his forbearance with our confusion; to Mr. Seltzer, for use of instrument; to Mr. Sampson, for printing programmes; to the Ohio State Journal and to the Daily Evening Dispatch, for the attendance of their reporters and reports to the press; to Mr. Coil, for his untiring energy in promoting the interests of the Institute; to onr President, Mr. N. H. Garner, for the impartial manner in which he has presided over deliberations; to our Secretary, for her faithful services; to the members of the Executive committee, for their work, and especially to the Chairman, Prof. D J. Snyder (to whose labors the unparalted success of the Institute is largely due), for his lecture advocating Moral Culture and the use of the Bible in Public Schools, the sentiment of which ao fully accords with tbe feelings of this Institute. Respectfully submitted, W. Y. Bartem, Ch'n., W. W. Johnson, Anne E. Pjiice, Chas. Mf.eion jr., P. R. Mills, Committee. On motion of Mr. Mills, It was resolved that copies of these resolutions be furnished to the State Journal and the Dispatch for puhlioation. The R.'V. R. H. Wallace, of Wester-ville, then proceeded to address the Institute on "A View of the Situation," This was a dissertation on the much broached quentionn of morality and religion in our public schools. The speaker announced himself once and forever opposed to sectarian schools in any shape, except where they are the patronage of the churches themselves. He said : "I cannot aee how it is possible to separate morals and religion. If you teach morality, you teach the principle of our religion. You must do it. There is no morality independent of that Included in the Bible. Nothing can be called sectarian that ia common to all religious denominations.

On motion, the present officers were requested to bold their offices until the next Institute, whenever it may be held. Distribution of certificates, certifying to the time spent by each member in attendance at the Institute, then followed. Quite a number of the teachers were not present to receive their certificates.

The man who advertises his business, if what he offers for sale is honestly what lie represents it to be, or what it ought to be.is constantly assisted in his business by those who have been attracted to him and tested him. A buyer has read bis adver tisement and gone to his store, or work ahop, or warehouse, whatever it may be. and tried what was recommended. If it has satisfied him be is pleased and recom mends it to his neighbor, who is likely to go to tne same place ana tell his neigh bors in turn. Ana thus little rills started by his advertisement flow in upon him from an sides, ana tbe current or bis buel ness grows stronger and wider and more rapid, and be prospers and grows rich, all because to strict attention in business he added judicious advertising. But for this he might have lingered on in the commu nity for years and his business would scarcely nave been heard ol. Exchange. Give your order early for New Year's Call Cards.

"Welcome is the bent cheer," says the Old English proverb. Onesitsdown to a stately dinner sometimes as if he were Bigninga mortgage, or a receipt for social obligations which the hoBt and hostess are "paying off." The menu is unexcep tionable; the company is of the most re spertable; the conversation is irreproacb able; the whole thing is damnable. Again : Topers lakes you home to a leg of million; the Togerwa are all bright chatty, cheery; the dinner is dispatched with merry, hospitable welcome from all the household; and the good old English phrase "good cheer" is the only one in any language adequate to express your sentiments, An American writer says: "The sweetest superstition of this world is Old Santa Claus." But, is it a superstition? We confess to an absolute faith and belief in the jolly little saint who goes about filling all hearts with good will and peace in the merry Christmas time. We would not for worlds doubt that the tinkle of those bells and the clatter of the hoofs ring out in the crispy air of every night on the Eve of Christmas, or that Saint Nicholas reigns for that night over the hearts of trusting children, and of loving parents whom he makes his messengers. If he does not actually drive over our roofs with eight mortal tiny reindeer, he comes into our homes in the diviner essence of spirit, warming our hearls and melt' ing us to the sweet influences of the Christmas feeling. He is the personal embodiment to our Benses of the senti ment which, thank God I gets the upper hand for that short week at least, and makes selfishness slink away with the owls and bats. He is the impersonation of good cheer, good will, hospitality. merry hearts, and loving offices to every thing that hath breath. ...."What is the use of Christmas, anyhow ?" snarled Old Gradgrind, yester day, as he stood discontentedly watching the eager throng of fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, nieces, and all degrees of - kinship, hurrying along with their faces full of peace and their arms full of good will. "What's the use of Christmas, any how? Look at this pack of fools going by with all sorts of gimcracks and ex travagancea which they are not able to afford, but which they buy for the chil dren, just because it is Christmas ! Good Lord I Must parents act like spend thrifts, because it is ChristmaB? Must they ruin their children's digestion with weetments and bon bons because it iB Christmas ? Must everybody run wild and idiotic because it is Christmas?" Why,God bless your miserable, stingy old soul Gradgrind those people are having and giving more happiness in this one hour than you have enjoyed in sixty years of painful industry with your muck rake. What is the use of Christmas? What is the use of a nose, to smell pleasant odors with I What in the use of ears, to hear music with I What is the use of any. thiug, that contributes to human happl new! There isn't ha! enough Christmas, in American life. We don't use our Christmas noses and ears half enough in ravishing the soul with the sweet Bmelling flowers and the e& static harmonies which fill all earth and air, and make heaven on earth to the heart and mind attuned with them. We go on raking with our muck rakes in the slums and cesspools of life, accumulating piles of filthy lucre, and seldom getting out into the fragrant air where the birds are singing. If we do at all, it is because Christmas, with its good will and good cheer, crystal izen the air, and lets in Heaven's sunshine upon our Bills. Thank God for Christmas, and for its happy influences. God bless us, lery one I .."Meuby Curistmas to all, and to 'all good" morning I The illustrated aupulenitot bka will be found folded in neb copy of OwStati JocaJflL this morning, u Christinas frut, Ki to speak, bountifully spread with lb choicest thing in literatim appropri ate to thit beat of all holidays.

Thi Cleveland Leader is w icked enough to say that Washington managers, in catering for tha new members, need not exert themselves to give a high tone to theatrical entertainments. If we msy belie the reports of the nanghty men who frequented such places, the Canterbury lways drew better than Shakspeare. In fsct, the average Congressman was never known to get farther than the rst syllable, In his March for the legitimate.

The damages to Bowen's charscter by the libels of the Brooklyn Eagle have been assessed by a jury at a thousand dollars. An excursion train is to be run from Cleveland for the inauguration, and it is expected that a big crowd will be down with a brans band. ColnmbuM uml Toledo Kallrond. Delaware (0.) Heralil.l III a recent conversation with M. M. Green esq , President of the Columbus and Toledo railroad, the lollowing incts, in reterence to the progress of construc tion and present condition of the road, were ascertained : Seven thousand tons of iron rails have been purchased iu Columbus, and three thousand tons of nteel rail have been purchased in Cleveland. This amount of iron will lie laid so noon as the weather will permit. The track layirg will com mence at Delaware, and lroru this point rails will be laid northward and southward. If suitable gravel can be obtained in this vicinity, the gravel traiiiB will also be started from thin city. lhe grading ot the road has been push ed with ex raordinary enemy. Had the weather of the month of December been equally favorable with that of Novem ber, Hie grading and masonry ol the roadway would have been finished by this time. An it is, lour hundred and titty thousand yards of embankment antl one hundred and sixty thousand yards of ex cavation have been made, and about all the masonry upon the line completed. And thin has all been accomplished since the 1st of August last. The company have subVred materially in nettling right of way, and the greatest dittieulty in thin matter has heenencouiit ered in the counties of Franklin and Del aware Many farmers and other landown era have apparently regarded the build ing ot the road an money making incident for themselves. This it certainly in, hut not tn the way they have attempted to make it, vis: by charging enormous pri ces for. the right of way through their properties, biucc the una! survey and the commencement of comtruction of the road, the company have paid over $100.- 000 in cash for the right of way alone; and this is a tax upon their resources which the managers are feeling severely. It is supposed liy the management that regular trains will be running between Delaware and Columbus by the first o'r middle of May next. A Ceuteuulal Catholic Bleniorlul Foniitttlii.

New York Hportsnian. 1 Carefully caged in the dimly-lighted lower regions of the Central Park Museum are two young Hon cubs. They are three weeks old, a pair, lion and lioness, nne healthy little creatures, and in two weeks more will be old enough to be nhown to the public. They are the progeny of the pair of beasts known an Lincoln and Jennie in the Museum. But the mother, being unable from confinement or some other cause to nurse them, they were at once given to a large terrier whoFe puppies were taken away, and who playB the part of a foster-mother. She stems, indeed, as fond of the cubs as if they were her own offspring, and coverB them with caressess, though they are already half as big an she in. It is a curious fact that lions reared in captivity are not as gentle as those captured and tamed. The parents of these cubs, which were cauglit when wild, and tamed, are very tractable, while some of the other lions which were born and brought up here are sullen and ferocious. All Old Couple.

The man who advertises his business, if what he offers for sale is honestly what lie represents it to be, or what it ought to be.is constantly assisted in his business by those who have been attracted to him and tested him. A buyer has read bis adver tisement and gone to his store, or work ahop, or warehouse, whatever it may be. and tried what was recommended. If it has satisfied him be is pleased and recom mends it to his neighbor, who is likely to go to tne same place ana tell his neigh bors in turn. Ana thus little rills started by his advertisement flow in upon him from an sides, ana tbe current or bis buel ness grows stronger and wider and more rapid, and be prospers and grows rich, all because to strict attention in business he added judicious advertising. But for this he might have lingered on in the commu nity for years and his business would scarcely nave been heard ol. Exchange. Give your order early for New Year's Call Cards.
